I have been looking forward to today for a number of reasons, one being i miss my parents. I know i only live 30 minutes away from them but i enjoyed getting my weekly paper from my pop, and them just casually stopping by. The second reason was my aunt and her partner finally were able to get married *yay California*. Knowing that i am an ordained minister, they asked me to be a part of their special day and i was honored. The love flowing from the two of them really touched my heart...i even shed some tears! They exchanged beautiful vows in front of friends and family and it made me take a step back and realize what an amazing family i really have. I know sometimes i complain (what? Jasmine, a complainer???neeeever lol) but i really have an amazing family. I have a family that loves unconditionally, that opens their hearts and minds to accept everyone for who they are, that helps one another, that lifts you up when you need it, and a family that is always there for you. My parents raised some truly amazing people. I feel so blessed to be a member of such a large blended family. I always knew i was one lucky girl, but spending the day with my family today reminded me of why i am so lucky.
After the wedding we began celebrating the 4th of July with a great bbq, pot luck sides, and awesome fireworks. Landon had such a blast playing with all the boys and watching the fireworks. In fact he had so much fun that he kept trying to convince me that i could leave him there over night! If any of you know Landon you would know that him saying that is HUGE! He hasn't left my side for more than a few hours since i brought him home at 3 weeks old from the hospital. I only stayed one day in the hospital after having Tanner because his (ok and my) separation anxiety was off the hook. So my boy is growing up =)
Now we are home and two out of three of my babies are asleep...G'night all and Happy 4th of July!!
